Antrim Hurling

[theskull1]

Its quite obvious what yer man's sole aim in joining the board is.

[Milltown Row2]

correct skull. And I spoke to person yesterday and it's a load of balls.

Heading to game later hoping for better effort today, somebody posted that we played a sweeper system last time out!! We didn't, they employed the extra player in defence, well I hope they did because we were shite at it if we did 'shakes head  '

Trying to get motovated, I'm cream crackered after a nite on the tiles, left car in Belfast and thought it would be a good idea to go in on my bike this morning to pick it up!!! nearly 9 miles, I'm aching and managed to fall of it also, funny a fcuk. So You'll be able to spot me at Casement later, small guy with a John Wayne walk

Milltownrow2 whatever little buddy told you it was a load of balls is lying, fact. He was at the Celtic match, fact.

[Sleeping giant]

Bog Ash/sham man/saffrongael?   

[Sleeping giant]

I believe ref is playing a blinder in casement??

[Buswhacker]

Reality check.......no defence, indifferent forwards,good goalkeeper!!!

[Minder]

I believe ref is playing a blinder in casement??

Regardless of the ref we are miles behind Limerick on that evidence.

[Sleeping giant]

That bad?

[btdtgtt]

By god I am glad that's over!

Yes he ref gave them some insane calls durin the game (and resulting directly in a goal) but that's nothing in the result of this game. We were destroyed all over the park!
Simply out of our depth.

Now the question is was this a reality check or a bad day?

[theskull1]

You might need a reality check. Plenty won't. Reality is too many fail to see that we have done nothing in the last 12 months to suggest we've really progressed so why after last years result against limerick do some think that result was not on the cards.

We pay lip sevice to the proper structured development of the game so we are where we are because of the level of effort put in...get used to it

[Buswhacker]

reality check........players don't measure up when it counts.Limerick are by no means the best team in Ireland and they destroyed us.We get the odd result when other teams have a bad day,thats the way it's always been.

[btdtgtt]

Unfortunately lads I have to agree with u both. That does seem to be a moraccurate reflection of where we really are.

[Sleeping giant]

I don't agree bushwhacker,  wasn't at game today so can't talk about it.  But full strength I believe Antrim are as good as any of the lower teams,  think just limerick are a step up, maybe a step closer to the cats and tipp,galway,cork.

[Last Man]

Dont think we are as bad as it looked today, DD very good, Shane and Aaron G were decent, after that not much to say. Work rate from the forwards was abysmal for most of the game. We looked like a team that had been together for a fortnight. There has to be more in this squad given the big players that had a stinker today plus if Watson can be incorporated in a week or two.

[Buswhacker]

Were Antrim at full strength today ?........... who do we add to make much difference?
At club level we can hack it,but county level we don't have enough quality players.
With the same three teams contesting Div1. and the championship every year this is not likely to change any time soon.
